Method for preparing slow-release urea
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of slow-release urea, and relates to a preparation method of novel slow-release urea.
Background
The fertilizer consumption of China approximately accounts for 1/3 of the total fertilizer amount of the world. But the utilization rate of the most widely applied nitrogen fertilizer in China is only 30-35%. The low utilization rate of the fertilizer leads to the need of multiple fertilization in one growth cycle of crops and the accumulation of the fertilizer at the rhizosphere of the plants, which not only can damage the cell structure of the root system of the plants, cause salt damage, lead to the yield reduction and even death of the crops, but also can damage the soil structure, lead to the soil degradation, the pollution of surface water and underground water, and the like. Therefore, the development of novel slow-release fertilizers has become one of the important fields.
The current slow-release urea fertilizer is mainly a coated slow-release urea fertilizer, and the membrane material is mainly a polyurethane resin series in early sulfur materials and high polymer materials. The preparation method is to spray the surface of the granular urea to form a film. Earlier efforts have been made with sulphur or sulphur-doped high-molecular polymer coated urea. For example, chinese patent document CN 101823923B (application No. 201010159451.1) developed a controlled release fertilizer special for corn. Although the film layer is not easy to damage after being wrapped and formed into a film, the problems of poor particle uniformity, uneven nutrient release and seedling burning exist. Most of the current achievements are focused on spraying and coating by utilizing a synthesized degradable high polymer material, or adding additives such as adhesive and the like into various raw materials of the high polymer material to directly spray the raw materials on the surface of urea to form a film. For example, chinese patent document CN 102964186B (application No. 201210447434.7), chinese patent document CN 103360184B (application No. 201310343720.3), and chinese patent document CN 106810363 a (application No. 201710033219.5). However, these results have problems that the coating is not uniform and the film layer is easily separated from the urea body.
In summary, the uniformity and controllability of the slow-release urea coating reported in the current patent still have certain problems, which leads to the unsatisfactory slow-release effect, thereby restricting the large-scale application of the slow-release urea coating in industry.

Five-membered cyclic carbonates formed from urea and dihydroxy compounds of the present invention can undergo addition reactions with amines to form hydroxy carbamates. It is important that the carbon atom in the carbamate structural unit has a hydroxyl group generated in the reaction process, and the hydroxyl group and the carbonyl group can form an intramolecular hydrogen bond. Can reduce the sensitivity of the whole PU (namely polyurethane) material and improve the hydrolytic stability. Meanwhile, the existence of hydrogen bonds structurally makes up the weak bond structure in the traditional PU, improves the chemical resistance of the product, obviously reduces the permeability and also enhances the thermal stability. In addition, the PU material synthesized by the method has few pores, so that the PU material is easier to store and construct. Can obviously make up for the defects of the prior method.
Has the advantages that:
1. the synthesized resin prepolymer is directly used as a solvent, so that the influence and cost caused by an organic solvent are removed;
2. in the presence of a catalyst, granular urea is directly used as a raw material, cyclic carbonate intermediate synthesis is carried out on the surface of the urea, and then micromolecular polyamine is dripped for polymerization, so that the prior coating spraying process is fundamentally changed, and the problems of uneven surface spraying and incomplete coating are solved, thereby enhancing the slow release performance;
3. the amount of the surface cyclic carbonate generated can be controlled by controlling the reaction time, so that the thickness of the final slow-release urea surface polymer film is controlled, and the aim of controlling the slow-release time is fulfilled.
